<br>During Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire , the aforementioned Wheel was smashed to unusable pieces by the god Eothas, effectively halting the cycle of reincarnation until such a time as kith could figure out how to make it function themselves. As such, the end of Deadfire left Eora in a state of rebuilding from the sudden chaos that the gods created. However, the state of Eora post- Deadfire might not even matter - the time period that Avowed takes place in could be long before or after anything in Pillars of Eternity , or the Living Lands could be so far removed from the rest of the world that there's little mention of the previous games' eve<br><br> <br>Just as Mehrunes Dagon is responsible for the Oblivion Crisis, Eothas is behind one of the biggest events in the Pillars of Eternity timeline, The Saint’s War. The Saint’s War took place between the Free Palatinate of Dyrwood and the Divine Kingdom of Readceras, a theocratic dictatorship led by Saint Waidwen, a prophet of Eothas who became his avatar until he was killed by a bomb at the Battle of Halgot Cita<br><br> <br>One big question that should be addressed is simple: which will be played first? One common determiner when it comes to a fan-favorite video game, especially those that are similar, is which was played first. Many who played Fallout 3 first will argue that it's better than Fallout New Vegas , while many who played the latter first will argue that it's better than Fallout 3 . There's a lot of psychology behind that, and it's not a blanket statement—it's not true of everyone. But when it comes to Avowed and The Elder Scrolls 6 , there may be a lasting impression if one of them manages to get out there and truly impress fi<br><br> <br>Bethesda and Obsidian have worked on several of the same IPs, and Bethesda’s worlds were greatly influenced by earlier games that Obsidian’s future founders had worked on. Bethesda took over the Fallout series with Fallout 3 in 2008, but many of the Fallout 2 developers were then able to return to the series to work on Obsidian’s Fallout: New Vegas . Despite the devs having to work in Bethesda’s new first-person format rather than Fallout 2 ’s top-down perspective, the game was a huge critical success, and many consider New Vegas one of the best games in the ser<br><br> <br>Despite his defeat in Oblivion , the daedric prince returned to his plane of Oblivion and Mehrunes Dagon appears in Skyrim .

Obsidian Entertainment still has one more DLC in the works for The Outer Worlds after the Peril on Gorgon releases, and the launch of Grounded to facilitate. However, it seems likely that both of those will reduce over the next few months, maybe even a year, to where small crews are working on those while Avowed becomes Obsidian's focus. In other words, it seems to be aiming for a release date a lot sooner than The Elder Scrolls<br><br> <br>Avowed has more than enough space to be its own game and established new lore, because there's so much of Eora that even those who played the Pillars games haven't seen yet.

Eothas resembles both Mehrunes Dagon and Akatosh in The Elder Scrolls ’ canon in some ways, appearing as both divine and destructive.

The former is a relatively archetypal devil figure, associated with fire, natural disasters, and destruction. The latter, on the other hand, is associated with light and renewal, as well as natural, rather than violent death. However, the fact that both are associated with the symbol of the dawn is telling. In both canons, these deities are associated with coming revolution and cyclical destruction. Eothas leads holy revolution in the Saint's War, and while Dagon's attack on the Imperial City fails it ends the Septim bloodline, birthing a new<br>
